Kentucky clerk Kim Davis is back in the news after getting attention for being too homophobic to do her job. Last week a judge ruled against her in a lawsuit that was brought against her by one of the people who were denied the right to marry when she was employed by the state of Kentucky.
Fox News reports that Kim Davis was found guilty of violating the civil rights of same sex couples after she was ordered to assign marriage certificates to them. This is an excellent update after she caused so much unnecessary pain to people who just wanted to experience their constitutional right to marry the person they loved.
When Kim Davis was first notified that she was going to be sued, she arrogantly stated that she had some kind of “qualified immunity.” She learned that she had no such thing on Friday when she was held accountable for her illegal and right-violating actions. Her reaction to the recent court ruling hasn’t been reported yet, but it would actually be interesting to see what she has to say for herself. Does she still really feel justified in denying couples the right to marry?
